>>123962032>Sheesh, she might actually be a match for Aang by the time Smoke and Shadow is done.You know anon, I have a headcanon that after getting threatened by Kyoshi in Shadow of Kyoshi, Fire Lord Zoryu vowed to make sure that his desendents would never have to bow before the Avatar ever again. So he started the tradition for marrying for power, making sure heirs either married the most powerful benders possible or recent blood decendents of recent Fire Nation Avatars.
I think it explains why FL Sozin thought he could win in a fight against fully realized Roku (before getting bitch slapped); why the Royal Family only seems to produce elite/prodigy benders; why Ozai is considered so strong that only the Avatar could defeat him when other elite benders of the other elements could easily be taken by a small group of elite fighers; the whole eugenics experiment/propechy underlying the Ozai-Ursa marriage; why Zuko can bend rainbow fire in addition to suprassing his father while still a teen; and why sane!Azula is essentially already the GOAT firebender while likely still not an adult.
In all honesty, I think Azula by her next comics apperance is going to at least be able to make her quick charge lighting lethal (or even her instant) and that is how she is going to still remain a threat. For even with all the raw power at Aang's command, he still has a frail human body. Hell, considering that the Kyoshi novels implied that smokebending is a subset of firebending, and that Azula/The Fire Warriors seemed to be psychically bending smoke, Azula could learn to bend fire or lighting psychially, which in that case I think she could even take on Amon, Yakkone, and Tarrlok all at once and stomp them.
So what do you think about my headcanon and how powerful Azula could get in the future? Plausible or just the insane ramblings of an Azula fan engaging in maximum wank?
